My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

      can this tar and chip be used for a patio area?

      yes we have done patios with the bluestone chips, but we use a compacted gravel base (4-6" deep) instead of asphalt.

      Are you saying that the bluestone chips can be used in a tar and chip manner, or are they just compacted? Thanks.

      Using a compacted gravel base that is 4-6" deep with a bluestone chip layer that is 2" deep would be recommended for a patio. Using a asphalt sub-base would only be recommended for a driveway. The asphalt keeps the chips from sinking into the soil because of the cars weight.
